I agree scentcontrol is important..... But I've always hunted while playing the wind & thermals. I think many people put WAY too much effort into trying to be "scent free", andthis is not ever going to happen. What I have always doneis put in the legwork and scout my woods.... Set more than one stand.... Set them with varying winds in mind and hunt accordingly. It just seems to me that some guys now just think they can through on some Scent Lok gear/dry off with a "virgin towel" and they will be good. THE DEER WILL STILL SMELL YOU!!!! Deer were hunted sucessfully before all of the ScentBlocker/ScentLok products. I'm not saying they don't help somewhat but if the deer is upwind from you, it's not going to smell you.
